About This Audiobook

On the day of her beach wedding, surrounded by the people she loves, a bride spots an uninvited guest in the congregation: a man from her past who knows the secret she buried ten years ago. Everything she has built, including the new identity, the loving husband, the life that finally feels safe, is suddenly at risk. Kathryn Croft's psychological thriller follows the cost of hidden pasts and what people are willing to do to keep them hidden, as the wedding becomes the catalyst for a decade's worth of buried consequences.

Naomi Frederick brings the tight, interior suspense of domestic psychological thrillers to life with skill, rendering the bride's mounting panic without melodrama. The first-person narration keeps listeners locked inside the protagonist's perspective, and Frederick uses that proximity to maintain tension even during quieter scenes. At just over ten hours, this is a well-paced listen for fans of the genre.
